the point of cheesecake factory is it's classy AND fancy AND trashy AND goofy. staff in fresh-pressed restaurant whites but half the menu items are cheeseburgers. you look equally normal eating there in a suit or in jorts. kris jenner filmed a music video there. it's the fever dream of John Everyman

thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

Except the scale of getting literally thousands of just CFB players organized is different than a few dozen adults.

If the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders can unionize and have the Cowboys recongize the union to bargain, surely college sports can figure out doing the same.

Also it has taken the DCC years to get this done. Years. What true incentive do the institutions have to do this? To make this happen?

names this good shouldn't be wasted on scumbag political operatives. Timmy Teepell is the name of a retired relief pitcher who threw 43 innings of 4.50 ERA ball for the '94-95 Royals and Tommy Teepell should be his 5-tool prospect son everyone else in the Orioles dugout has nicknamed "T-Dawg"

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Nextโ€”the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed eventsโ€”paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepellโ€™s dad Timmy $250k for โ€œcanvassing and influencer marketingโ€ against El-Sayed.

1st line of novel: "Here is what I knew about Jonah before I met him: he was thirty-one, he had a dog he clearly loved more than most people, and in four different photos he was standing in front of a mountain as if to establish that he was a person who went places." #booksky #writesky #amwriting

Turning my spare bedroom into a home office/streaming/podcast studio. Fully tricking it out. Three monitors/mixer/sound baffling. Beefy computers too.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (letโ€™s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Iโ€™m sorry, but adults who play video games should have no say in governance. Put aside childish things.

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

We can still get 3k+ whistles out the door to people in need in under 24 hours and they are free.

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com

People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Arizona State??? Elite??? I mean, some of us could have told you that. Consider Arizona State.

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

The one thing you can say about Curtis Sliwa: He loves New York City. I don't agree with him on much, but I think he cares deeply about what happens with the City. which is why I see him and Mamdani making this video as being perfectly logical and on brand for both. They share that love in common.

One thing all New Yorkers can agree on? Itโ€™s time to get your flu shot! Go to nyc.gov/healthmap to find all the free locations.

The constituencies they represent are faculty, staff, and students. However, that is not the same as who they are accountable toโ€”which are regents/trustees, donors, and politicians. The tension lies in accountability vs. representation.
